Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Drawing on original research and firsthand interviews Conversations with Terrorists offers critical portraits of six Middle Eastern leaders often labeled as terrorists: Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad Hamas top leader Khaled Meshal Israeli politician Geula Cohen Iranian Revolutionary Guard founder Mohsen Sazargara Hezbollah spiritual advisor Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Fadlallah and former Afghan Radio and Television Ministry head Malamo Nazamy. Veteran journalist Reese Erlich offers them a chance to explain key issues and to respond to charges leveled by the United States. Critiquing these responses and synthesizing a broad range of material Erlich shows that yesterday’s terrorist is today’s national leader and that today’s freedom fighter may become tomorrow’s terrorist. He concludes that the global war on terror has diverted public attention from the war’s real goal—expanding U. S. influence and interests in the Middle East—and offers policy remedies. | Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

For decades biology has focused on decoding cellular processes one gene at a time but many of the most pressing biological questions as well as diseases such as cancer and heart disease are related to complex systems involving the interaction of hundreds or even thousands of gene products and other factors. How do we begin to understand this complexity? Fundamentals of Systems Biology: From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models introduces students to methods they can use to tackle complex systems head-on carefully walking them through studies that comprise the foundation and frontier of systems biology. The first section of the book focuses on bringing students quickly up to speed with a variety of modeling methods in the context of a synthetic biological circuit. This innovative approach builds intuition about the strengths and weaknesses of each method and becomes critical in the book‘s second half where much more complicated network models are addressed including transcriptional signaling metabolic and even integrated multi-network models. The approach makes the work much more accessible to novices (undergraduates medical students and biologists new to mathematical modeling) while still having much to offer experienced modelers-whether their interests are microbes organs whole organisms diseases synthetic biology or just about any field that investigates living systems. | Fundamentals of Systems Biology From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models

Foreign Currency Claims Judgments and Damages

Foreign Currency Claims Judgments and Damages

Currency fluctuation currency wars and even potential currency collapse (the Euro the Bitcoin) are all risks that commercial parties must consider and guard against. This book gathers together in one volume all the information and advice practitioners are likely to need when advising on advancing or defending claims involving a foreign currency element. The determination of the proper currency (or currencies) of a claim often has a dramatic effect on the level of a court judgment or arbitration award that is ultimately obtained. It is therefore vital for practitioners to accurately assess claims which involve a foreign currency element. The authors guide the reader through the legal principles governing how foreign currency claims are treated in English law. The book covers both the treatment of foreign currency in substantive law as well as such procedural matters as how to claim interest correctly on a foreign currency claim and how to plead prove or disprove the applicability of a particular currency. This book is an invaluable and essential resource for all lawyers involved in international commerce but will be of particular interest to those engaged in international finance commodity transactions international shipping and transport and the insurance of assets and liabilities abroad. Those who practise in this country need guidance in navigating the tricky waters that The Despina R unleashed. This excellent book provides that guidance. The authors have been uniquely well placed to meet the challenge of analysing what is a perplexing body of jurisprudence and to suggest principled answers to currency issues that have not yet been the subject of judicial decision. They consider not merely claims in contract and tort but every type of claim that might raise an issue in relation to a foreign currency. The Rt Hon. The Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers KG PC President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom 2009-2012 | Foreign Currency Claims Judgments and Damages
